Ok here is my Problem:
I have an xml file, which looks like that:
<my-foo>
	<text1></text1>
	
	<question>[..]</question>
	<question>[..]</question>
</my-foo>

Now I need in my output (an xsl:fo with some special extensions) something like:

Q1 [..]
Q2 [..]


What about:

<xsl:text/>Q<xsl:number/>

Or:

<xsl:value-of select="concat('Q',count(preceding-sibling::question))"/>
Thats an really elegant solution. And with a +1 it does exactly what I want.
Thanks.
